Net neutrality - Bill Moyers

From Dennis - Bill Moyers will host a 90 minute program on PBS this Wednesday on the topic of Net Neutrality.

Set your TiVo.  The PBS series, Moyers on America, is doing a 90-minute program called "The Net at Risk" next Wednesday evening.  The description reads, in part:

The future of the Internet is up for grabs. Last year, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) effectively eliminated net neutrality rules, which ensured that every content creator on the Internet-from big-time media concerns to backroom bloggers-had equal opportunity to make their voice heard. Now, large and powerful corporations are lobbying Washington to turn the World Wide Web into what critics call a "toll road," threatening the equitability that has come to define global democracy's newest forum. Yet the public knows little about what's happening behind closed doors on Capitol Hill. ...  Link:  PBS.

It's nominally scheduled at 9 ET/PT and 8 CT/MT, but owing to the weirdness of public television scheduling, your experience may vary.  Check your local listings or titanTV to confirm air time or find the customary repeats.  --Dennis

Ted Kennedy uses YouTube to Defend net Neutraility

I am stunned - Ted Kennedy advocating Net Neutraility on YouTube

He also asks for the public right to access - he sees this as a core issue for democratic freedom

Might this be something that Public radio can align itself with?
